Custodial history

This collection was held by the Ayr Branch of the Region of Waterloo Library until it was transferred to the Region of Waterloo archives in 2017.

Scope and content

This series contains correspondence that the Ayr Public Library engaged in between 1908 and 1965. Since the recipient naturally kept the Library's letters to them, this series only contains the letters sent to the library. Within this series there are four types of correspondence. The first type is the solicitations- or advertisements- that the library recieved. The second type is business correspondence, where the Library was activiely corresponding with businesses for building repairs or upgrades, new equipment, lists of new books and the like. The third type is Inter-Library Correspondence, which includes letters from other Ontario muncipal libraries, generally discussing meetings of the Ontario Library Association, answering questions and making inquiries of the Ayr Library and passing along useful literature and hints for a newly founded library. The final type of correspondence present in this series is undated letters, and so cannot be organized properly into the other types. This file has only two letters- one written by an elementary school class to a librarian, and another written to the Library in general. Series is arranged chronologically.
